🌟SUPER CUTE & EASY 🐙 Crochet mini octopus tutorial *NO SEW* Crochet Amigurumi, MINI OCTO

[@donnapeterson1945]

Okay..... I have to say this is the easiest Magic Ring explanation I've ever seen - WOW!! Every time I come across someone else's video the steps are crazy, yours were simple and very little steps and it's the same thing! THANK YOU So much!!! Super cute Octopus and cannot wait to make this :)

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

I am so happy to hear this! Thank you for choosing my tutorial. I hope you enjoy making lots of little Octo’s!

[@ShellyRodman-y7w]

Agreed, and it looks so much nicer than any I’ve made before!

[@Worldsokayestrunner]

A coworker was just saying she really wanted a tiny octopus for her desk - this will work brilliantly for her. Thanks for sharing!

[@lunaswan]

One of the easiest octos ive seen thank you

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

That’s great to hear! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@grandmascrochet]

Yeah pretty easy

[@traytray873]

Love the easy pattern and made for my grandchildren.

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

That’s wonderful! I’m sure they will love them!

[@reallyabilbo2096]

🐙 made it! I’ve started a couple other plushies but haven’t finished the crochet, this size project is perfect for an adhd beginner 😂 I still need to get stuffing but I’ll wrap it up soon, it’s for my new niece. I love the tip to crochet the string in so I don’t have to sew it later. And I did what the other comments recommended, didn’t cut between body and legs. Used lion brand wool-ease thick and quick yarn. Super happy with it. 🥰

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

That’s wonderful! Really happy to Hear this! I’m sure your niece will be so happy to receive this little octopus!

[@EchoatTheOakAnchor]

I'm using this design to make some cute valentines for my kids classes

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

That's a great idea! I’m sure they will love them. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@Kwoumi]

Thanks so much! , i literally spent my whole day finding a cute plushie to crochet , mine is a little different but still cute, i featured you on my video too!❤❤

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Oh wow! I’m so happy you picked my pattern to crochet. Thank you for watching and the feature in your video! ❤️

[@paulamorton6454]

I love the way you show every stitch so clearly. Your tutorial is so easy to follow, and this is by far the best octopus pattern I’ve seen. I’ve finished two so far, and in just one evening!

[@ricedream-xt5yi]

This was really simple and easy to make. As a beginner this was really easy to follow. Tysm ❤

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Great to hear! Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@ritax8411]

Easy to follow and quick to make. ✨ Great way to use up scrap yarns, thanks for sharing. 👍🏻

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Great to hear! Thank you very much for watching and commenting. I hope you make lots of little Octo’s!

[@pikathepurplebabe4583]

Omg this was the cutest idea ever love how the tentacles curl I made my first one last night I used 3.5mm yarn it makes a cute key chain thanks so much !

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Oh I need to try this now! I bet it’s sooooo cute! Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@vicheaton]

This is a perfect octopus….I added three eyelashes coming from each eye socket and used Kawaii eyes! Beautiful!

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Ohh! I’m sure it’s so beautiful! If you have Facebook or IG I’d love to see it. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@cassidynovak4082]

Can you post pics?

[@BunteWerkstatt]

Hello Jonna, I also did not snip of the yarn and attached it newly to the body. I just kept on crocheting with the same yarn. Thank you for this beautiful pattern, I crochet these octo while watching this tutorial, for market prep. It's really easy and so pretty 😍 I used color changing yarn and it came out so pretty. ❤ Thank you

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Yes! That’s wonderful! Wish I could edit the tutorial because that is a much easier method! But oh well. I’m happy everyone is having fun making these cuties! Thank you for watching and commenting. ❤️

[@ShellyRodman-y7w]

So cute, thank you!! I would amend to add eyes after round 7 and rather than tying off just stuff and close off after 7. I’m going to make a ton of these for Xmas presents,

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Yes! You definitely could add the eyes sooner! Also do the legs and then do the last round on the back loops to decrease. No need to cut the yarn! Merry Christmas!

[@ileanaarrieta4671]

I will make this octopus, it’s adorable. Thank you for sharing!

[@carolinecockrell9189]

This pattern is fantastic! I've made large ones, tiny ones, they all turn out perfectly! Thank you so much!!

[@traceywalker3394]

I have finally found crochet tutorials that are so easy for a beginner to follow. Loving all of your tutorials. Thank you Jonna 🧶

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

This is great to hear! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@francesguin9366]

Such a cute octopus! Very easy to make and I like the tentacles. The only thing I was change is adding the eyes and stuffing before you got to the last round. Waiting till the end made it a bit harder to get the eyes in

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

That’s great to hear! Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@pjaulia2702]

I just made this lovely fella. And i made the entire body with eyes first and then the tentacles, was easyer and faster without so much cutting. Just a tip, i love the pattern thnx ❤

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

That’s wonderful! I keep hearing how people aren’t cutting. That’s great! I’m happy you have enjoyed making this cutie. Thank you for watching.

[@debrawilkinson822]

Very cute! Easy to work up, excellent video direction. Have found many "easy" patterns, with very complicated videos. So, good job! Unsure why yarn is cut off before starting the legs, so on my second, I will try to just use continuous. Will let you know if I have a problem with that method.

[@danabolick5154]

So adorable. This would make a cute sea creature for a baby’s mobile.

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Yes it would! So cute!

[@clarasworld1169]

The best octopus crochet so far

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@monicawatchorn3540]

So cute. thank you for making a video that is easy to follow along. My students love to make little critters to sit on their desk.

[@aliciajohnson1648]

This is really cute. I’ve made two but I can’t get the legs to look like yours. If the bottom of the body is 8 stitches and we need 8 legs, then when I think I’m following directions and slip stitching into two front loops past a leg, I only have room for 4 legs and have to go around again to get the last four completed so it looks extra lumpy and not flat on the bottom like yours. Help?!

[@karmaisreal6284]

I’m having the same problem-I don’t get how she managed to fit eight legs into the bottom and still make it lay flat. Maybe try slipping only one stitch on the body instead of two? Someone please help us!

[@Claireka2]

@@karmaisreal6284 ​ I had the same issue but then my husband noticed that the tentacles seem to be attached not to the last row (which has only 8 stitches) but one above that (that has 16 stitches). It is possible to see in the video when she talks about attaching tentacles to the front loops :)

[@ThePene86]

I am having the same problem as well. I am glad I wasn't the only one! I'll go back and see exactly where she is doing her slip stitches @claireka2

[@reallyabilbo2096]

I did the same thing at first until I figure out you had to go into the row with 16 stitches. Undoing my work constantly to fix it is an opportunity to practice detachment 😂😂

[@raspberryrebel1909]

This tutorial is excellent!! Managed to run up a super cute little octo-friend in an hour!! 🐙🐙

Your pacing and encouragement are perfect for beginners! Thanks for creating this video! I actually have a completed octopus that looks like it should... or almost! LOL

Made one for my toddler tonight. Fun little octo.

Cutest Crochet Octopus I've seen, definitely gonna make one.

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Thank you! Thats great. Have fun making these cuties!

[@swankelly]

@@JonnaMartinezCrochet I made a small yellow one last night. With a 4 weight yarn and 4.5 hook. Very easy and very cute :)

[@JoyceMcGraw-dr9fp]

Very cute!! Thank you! I am going to make one right now! I am a beginner and your directions were so good!!

[@susanschalo724]

I LOVE these! I just made 3! It is my new favourite octopus pattern! I did make a small change after the fiest one though. I find it easier to go right to the tentacles on the FL before I decease in the BL.

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

This is a great idea! I’m really happy you enjoy making them. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@cocktailgame6237]

I’m gonna attempt to try this, it’s super cute and looks very easy 😊

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

That’s great! Have fun! Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@JessicaTagg-o3c]

I don’t know if I’m using the wrong yarn but as soon as I tighten the magic loop I immediately lose where my stitches are. It all blends together.

[@fit2be45]

Use a stitch marker😊

[@jennierbanks5075]

I don’t think you need to cut the body from the legs… I’m going yo try it without & I’ll report back!

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Okay great! Thank you!

[@BiggestCrazyCaeFan]

I can report back for you, you do not have to. In fact, it’s easier without it.😊

[@thenaturalgemini]

@@BiggestCrazyCaeFanwhat did you do

[@ladinar.75]

I also did the legs attached to the body and it worked great. I made the body and directly made the legs without cutting it. Thanks for the tutorial 🥰

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

@ladinar.75 that’s wonderful!! I’ll definitely be editing the pattern to reflect this easier method!

[@colleenfinn1348]

Hi, thank you for sharing this brilliant video! Can I ask what thread you used to attach the key ring? Thanks!

[@sophieheard9925]

Mine somehow omly has 6 tentacles but thats okay 😂

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Aww I’m sure it’s so cute!

[@Cat-ys4lu]

mine was like that too but i figured out what i was doing wrong! the next chain 5 after the first tentacle is supposed to go directly on TOP of the second slip stitch on the body. i was putting my hook through the next front loop and THEN chaining 5 which left me with six tentacles. i watched the video again and once i realized where she was doing the ch 5 i had eight tentacles. i’m not sure if that’s what happened with you but i thought i’d share!

Thank you!!​@@Cat-ys4lu

[@chpsusan]

Crochet is always easy for pros but not so easy for newbie's. I am using a thicker yarn and a little larger hook because I am learning to count stitches and larger stitches are a bit easier. However, my octopus is larger than yours which is okay. I noticed you didn't stuff your octopus. Is the one in this video so small it doesn't need any stuffing? I am going to stop here and go stuff this one before I move on because like I said it is definitely a larger craft. Any feedback or suggestions? Thank you

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

At 9:45 I do add stuffing Thank you for watching!
